Retrospective study of plasma exchange in patients with idiopathic rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and vasculitis.
A retrospective study of 48 patients was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of plasma exchange in children with idiopathic rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (IRPGN), and renal or non-renal vasculitis. All patients were followed up at a single centre over a 15 year period. Treatment consisted of corticosteroids and/or cytotoxic agents. Plasma exchange was used in all patients because of sev...

myelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) underwent plasma exchange. Eight patients were previously unresponsive to prednisone, two were started on prednisone with plasma exchange, and one did not receive corticosteroids. Electrodiagnostic studies revealed evidence of an acquired demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy with varying degrees of axonal degeneration. Neurologic impairment was monitore...
متن کاملTherapeutic plasma exchange in Casablanca.
BACKGROUND Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is an extracorporeal blood purification method for the treatment of diseases in which pathological proteins have to be eliminated. In the aim to demonstrate our single center activity, we analyzed our data since 2 years. METHODS Between years 2002 and 2005, 104 TPE procedures were performed on 42 patients.

متن کاملPulmonary-renal syndrome, diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage and glomerulonephritis, associated with Wegener's granulomatosis effectively treated with early plasma exchange therapy.
We present a case of a 38-year-old Japanese man with Wegener's granulomatosis complicated with pulmonary-renal syndrome, i.e., diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage and rapidly progressive renal glomerulonephritis. As this is a life-threatening condition, we promptly initiated plasma exchange with intravenous methylprednisolone therapy. Diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage and renal failure were markedly improv...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin A Preparation from Human Pooled Plasma Using Plasma Fractionation and Ion Exchange Chromatography
Background: In this study we have prepared the IgA solution from normal human plasma using plasma fractionation and ion exchange chromatography. Materials and Methods: Using fractionation of plasma with cold ethanol (starting with 8% ethanol), fraction III was prepared as a suitable source for IgA preparation. Then it was treated with caprylic acid for separation of impurities. For enrichm...
